Sim Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 "In 1984, there was nothing like William Forsythe’s Artifact, a full-length ballet that is both narrative and abstract, that tells the story of ballet itself in ways at once traditional and entirely contemporary. Thirteen years later, there is still nothing quite like it: it looks as shockingly original as on the day it was made." (Sarah Crompton, Telegraph). Err....is it just me, or are we in 2012 and not 1997 ??!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
